Hi, thanks for checking me out. My friends call me KOB.

 

If you're looking for an experienced scuba diving professional who can help train you ... from new Open Water Diver to Master Instructor ... then you've made the right choice.

 

I first learned to scuba dive in 1972 (yeah, I know, that was a long time ago!) while I was a college student. Since that time, I have had the good fortune to be able to dive in many places around the world ... places like California & Florida, the Pacific Northwest & Canada, the Northeast US, Japan, the Red Sea, Indonesia, Mexico & many parts of the Caribbean and more.

 

In 1998, I became a PADI instructor and have been actively helping people learn to scuba dive, expand their underwater skills and go pro ever since. In doing so, I have trained & certified more than 2000 people, many who are now active PADI professionals ... Divemasters, Assistant Instructors, Open Water Instructors, Master Scuba Diver Trainers, IDC Staff Instructors, Master Instructors, Specialty Instructors, Technical/Trimix Divers, Technical/Trimix Diving Instructors, Dive Store Owners.

 

When you train with me and the dive stores that I work with, you are more than just a student. Many of the divers I have been fortunate to help train over the years have become lifelong friends.

 

So, when you're ready to become a scuba diver, expand your scuba diving capabilities or become a dive professional, let me know. I am ready to help you achieve your dreams!
